Enjoying a V60 of some Kenya Nyeri Gathaithi Peaberry in the office. Roasted
a bit darker, around a full city to full city + to tone down the brightness and
acidity and bring out more winey sweetness. This cup has a buttery mouthfeel
that sits on the back of the tongue, with lemon sweetness. Very nice.

This morning, I brewed a batch in the V60 at home, then brought it here to
the office. Since I had a lot of leftover batches lying around my kitchen, I
combined the end of two batches to get an acceptable amount of coffee for my
desired yield size. The coffees? Roughly 60% of Costa Rica Don Mayo La
Ponderosa Bourbon and 40% of Ethiopia Beloya Selection Eight, both of which
were kept on the lighter side of the roasting spectrum.

Barbara, our Prima accountant, just invested in a Hottop roaster and we are
enjoying the fruit (pun somewhat intended) of her labor. Monday, she brought in
a bag of her new
Costa Rica San Marcos Tarrazu from Sweet Maria's. We have been salivating
as we waited for the three day roasting mark to pass. Today, we broke open the
bag and plundered the treasure.

On Sunday, I had an interesting experience with one of my favorite coffees
from the past several months, the natural-processed Ethiopia Wondo Bonko
Sidamo. This coffee, whose greens came from PT's in Kansas, has that lush
bouquet of distinctive fruited notes, both on the tongue and in the nose. I had
roasted a batch of this to just a shade past first crack on Saturday afternoon,
making it very young in the post-roast sense. I brewed up a batch in the
morning using the V60, then did the same in the afternoon.

The ascension of the grinder to its status as the most crucial piece of brewing gear is well deserved. More than anything else the grinder has the potential to make, or severely limit the flavor quality of brewed coffee.

The hand grinder, once considered a compromise for convenience sake, has been reinvented to contend with some of the best electric home grinders on the market.
